Israeli strikes decimated Hamas; Gaza lost control

bbc.com

A Hamas security officer revealed the group has lost approximately 80% of its control over Gaza due to Israeli strikes, with armed clans filling the power vacuum. The officer stated that Israeli attacks have decimated Hamas's leadership and security structure, leading to a collapse in command and control. He described widespread looting and a complete breakdown of security, with armed groups now operating freely. This internal disintegration comes after a ceasefire earlier this year, and as rival armed groups emerge, potentially challenging Hamas's remaining authority in the increasingly lawless Gaza Strip.
